What are film presets?
Film presets mimic the grain and appearance of a retro film camera, making your picture look like something you’d see in an old family photo album. There’s a huge selection of popular {{lightroom}} film presets that can help you achieve different classic looks.
You can find the following presets preloaded in {{lightroom}} under the Yours tab:
Creative › Cool Shadows & Warm Highlights
This preset reduces Contrast and Highlights to replicate the look of a photograph taken on an old Fujifilm camera with cool, light blue hues offset by warm, washed-out tones.
B&W › B&W High Contrast
By dialing up the whites to make them lighter and reducing blacks to make them darker, the Black & White High Contrast filter mimics the monochromatic tones of early Kodak and Agfa film stocks.
Creative › Cool Matte
Achieve a dark and moody color palette with this preset based on the look of a faded photograph printed on matte paper.
